The future? Like unwritten books and unborn children, you do

Summary

This quote suggests that the future is uncertain and should not be discussed or speculated upon, much like the potential stories that an unwritten book or the yet unborn children hold. It emphasizes the notion that talking about the future is futile because it is beyond our control and can take unexpected turns. By likening the future to unwritten books and unborn children, it emphasizes the importance of focusing on the present rather than worrying about what may or may not come to pass.
